Mexican filmmaker Guillermo del Toro would love to make a Stephen King movie, and he’s revealed which book he would adapt. During an interview with The Kingcast, del Toro explained that he “would have killed” to adapt Pet Semetary, the novel that King considers to be among his scariest ever.

“You know the novel that I would have killed to adapt, and I know there's two versions of it, and I still think maybe in a deranged universe I get to do it again one day is Pet Sematary,” he said. “Because it not only has the very best final couple of lines, but it scared me when I was a young man. As a father, I now understand it better than I ever would have, and it scares me. A hundred times more.”

After the release of Stephen King’s original novel in 1983, King sold the film rights to legendary horror director, George A. Romero. But when Romero was forced to pull out due to a scheduling conflict, Paramount went ahead and made Pet Sematary with director Mary Lambert in 1989, with a script penned by King himself.

Pet Sematary was again adapted in 2019 – this time by directors Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer, with a script penned by Jeff Buhler and Matt Greenberg.

Del Toro certainly isn’t the first filmmaker to want to adapt Pet Sematary. Back in 2017, Andy and Barbara Muschietti revealed they wanted to remake the Stephen King classic.

“We’re huge fans of Pet Sematary,” Andy told Toronto Sun. “If we can get our hands on that and do the Pet Sematary we want to do, that will be something. One day, maybe.”

“We’ll see who gets to it first,” added his sister and filmmaking partner, Barbara Muschietti. “But it is the first Stephen King book that we read, and it’s something that has been a great love, because it is possibly King’s most personal book. You can imagine his young family. What will you do to be able to keep your family? How far would you go? I really hope we can do it. But if we do it, we have to do it justice, like we did with IT. The versions we read in the past years, the scripts we’ve read, have not been, in our opinion, representative of the book.”

Ultimately, the 2019 Pet Sematary remake went in a different direction. And it failed to impress the critics – the movie currently holds a 57% rating on Rotten Tomatoes with an audience score of just 32%.

Would Guillermo del Toro’s version have fared any better? Unfortunately, we’ll never know. But with more Stephen King remakes than ever, perhaps one day we’ll find out.

Miles "Tails" Prower voice actor Colleen O'Shaughnessey will return to voice Sonic's sidekick in the live-action Sonic the Hedgehog 2 film.

"Taking my old pal Tails for another adventure. Thrilled to announce I’m the voice of Miles “Tails” Prower in #SonicMovie2! Can’t wait for y'all to see him on the big screen," O'Shaughnessey announced on Twitter on Tuesday.

— Colleen O’Shaughnessey (@VOColleen) December 7, 2021

O'Shaughnessey is Tails' most recent English voice actor, playing the young twin-tailed fox/mechanic in the 2014 Sonic Boom TV series and Sonic Boom video games. O'Shaughnessey has gone onto voice every subsequent incarnation of Tails, including his cameo in Cartoon Network's OK K.O. and in the Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games series. Her first actual role in the Sonic universe was in 2010's Sonic Colors as Charmy the Bee.

O'Shaughnessey's has worked as a voice actor since 1999 when she started voicing Sora Takenouchi in Digimon Adventure. Her other major credits include numerous Naruto series characters, including Ino Yamanaka, Ghost in the Shell's child-like Tachikoma robots, and Marvel hero the Wasp in various games and shows.

O'Shaughnessey previously voiced Tails in the end credits stinger for the original Sonic the Hedgehog live action film, when Tails arrives in the human world trying to track down Sonic.

The voice actor's return for the sequel was at least somewhat up in the air given concerns that Paramount may try to cast a more recognizable Hollywood star, like Chris Pratt. Those concerns appear to be for nothing now, though that didn't stop Paramount from casting Idris Elba as Knuckles the Echidna.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is scheduled to release on April 8, 2022.

Tom Hardy’s Venom will be getting a yet-another sequel, as producer Amy Pascal revealed that Venom 3 is already underway.

During an interview with Collider, the Spider-Man: No Way Home producer confirmed that another Venom sequel is already in the works.

“We are in the planning stages right now,” she revealed. “But what we are focused on is getting everybody to come and see No Way Home.”

Tom Hardy first starred as Venom in the 2018 Spider-Man spin-off. Following the story of investigative journalist Eddie Brock, the film acts as an origin story for the Venom symbiote – an extra-terrestrial parasitic entity who takes up residence in the aforementioned Eddie.

Venom’s recent sequel, Venom: Let There Be Carnage certainly opened up the door for more Venom movies. Despite mixed reviews from critics, the film went on to become the sixth highest-grossing film of 2021 – earning $483 million at the box office.

The film set a pandemic record, with its $90 million opening weekend.

With the film performing incredibly well for a pandemic release, it feels as though Venom 3 is a bit of a no-brainer.

But will Venom begin to appear in the MCU before that?

Venom: Let There Be Carnage certainly hinted at a Marvel crossover with its mid-credits scene – linking Venom and Eddie Brock to Marvel’s current Peter Parker. And while Pascal refused to say much, it looks as though there could be room for a crossover.

“There’s the wonderful movies that Sony makes,” said Pascal. “Then there’s the Marvel universe, there’s our Spider-Verse movies and we’re all very careful to work with each other in a way that is additive for everybody.”

Of course, Spider-Man: No Way Home introduces numerous former Spider-Man villains back into the MCU. And this would be the perfect opportunity to get Venom in on the action.

Whether or not Venom appears in No Way Home remains to be seen. But with Venom 3 in the works, it looks as though Tom Hardy’s time as Eddie Brock is far from over.

Spider-Man star Tom Holland has shared his favorite part of Sam Raimi's Spidey trilogy. In an interview with Jake's Take (via Collider), Holland said he loved the ripped suit when Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man fought the Goblin in Spider-Man 1.

“I love the final battle between him and the Goblin," Holland said. "I think something that I really wish we had done with our movies is kind of the tattered suit stuff. You know how he always has the rips in his costumes and the rips on the mask? I really like that because it brought a kind of realism to the injuries that Spider-Man can get.”

Now, Holland may get a chance to have his Spider-Man face off against Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin, who is confirmed to appear in next week's Spider-Man: No Way Home. Recently, Dafoe teased upgrades coming to Green Goblin's costume, saying the costume is more flexible thanks to a huge leap in technology.

Holland also gave the Andrew Garfield Spider-Man films some love, sharing his favorite part of The Amazing Spider-Man movies.

“I love the skateboarding sequence actually. I know that's kind of far from what Peter Parker is, and it was kind of a bit of a step away, but I really enjoyed that sequence. I thought it was really fun. I thought the way they brought that aspect of Peter Parker's life was really interesting and really fun.”

Spider-Man: No Way Home comes out next Friday, December 17, and it's set to be a huge crossover event featuring villains from across the history of live-action Spider-Man. Besides Dafoe's Green Goblin, the movie will also feature Doctor Octopus, Electro, Sandman, and Lizard.

For more Spider-Man news while you await the release of No Way Home, check out when the MCU's Spider-Man movies could include one of the comic's most iconic lines, and read up on Kirsten Dunst's p[es to reprise her role as Mary Jane in a future Spider-Man movie.
